My name is Day Parker and I hated reading, until a friend of mine lent me a book, The Lifeguard by Richie Tankersley Cusick, when I was thirteen. From there, I was hooked and never again without a book.
I read all of her books and many more. I still remember the anticipation of waiting for the book to be released, impatiently thinking, can’t you write faster—for which I now apologize.
The exhilaration of being lost in another world, was for me,
the best thing ever. I knew then that I wanted to be a writer. I
wanted to make others fall in love with reading as I had. I hope I've succeeded.
Thank you,
Day
